Once again I bring up this proposal for seating expansion. Triple deck the side of the stadium, grandstand the rec center endzone, and top it with club seats. 50-57k in total-ish.

With now having a dining hall in Spencer, keeping stadium view around is becoming way less important. It's just a bad use of space with how small it is. Could easily be taken away for stadium upgrades/expansion
@doug_maley
THIS. I can't imagine that stadium view is still pulling in students the way it used, to especially with the north end of campus covered now by Spencer.
Stadium View (though good eats) is just redundant to the bigger Center Court that is LITERALLY directly below it.
@VivaLaCatsPod
We need to see how many fans show up when we go 7-5, 8-4, 9-3, instead of 12-0. Ride the wave of demand for now. If we sell out 2 more years then discuss expansion
@VivaLaCatsPod
Yeah yβall need some serious upgrades to help with recruiting in this conference. Iβve always been curious to what that building on the right is? This is a very odd looking stadium but Iβve always liked it.

Lindner Athletic Center, aka AD building - very cool building inside and out, with some really cool views of the stadium for those working in the offices.
@VivaLaCatsPod
Youβre adding cheap seats. Those will not pay for themselves. The only seating getting added to any stadium in the country are premium.
@VivaLaCatsPod
50-57k is way too much. More people every year are choosing to stay home to watch sporting events because of costs and better viewing product at home. No more than 45k.
@VivaLaCatsPod
I think you start with just the north end zone. Get it to the 45k range with maybe another drinking deck down there as well. If some premium seats can be included even better. Gets you out of the basement of stadium capacity without needing a massive expansion in front of lindner
@VivaLaCatsPod
I think it would be kinda cool and unique to build up and around Dieterle. It would kind of mess up the CCM roundabout but who cares about that anyway
@VivaLaCatsPod
The endzone needs to be fixed asap. I like the plan shown with extra club seats on top too. The triple deck im iffy on atm. Fix endzone cover tunnels with seats or a standing bar-ish area. Something is better than what we got now.
